Neptune sextile Pluto is the "Master YOD" in my opinion.. This has been, since 1941, the one YOD that continues to hold its place, 60 degrees apart, give or take. These are the two furthest planets out there, and take a long time to go around the chart. We know that a sextile creates a YOD, a "Finger of God", aspect, sending the energy down to a power point 150 degrees from each direction. It's the "answer", but we have to figure it out ourselves.In 2003 there was a new wrinkle.Saturn moved into this 'answer' space . In late 2003, Saturn made the YOD connection to the Neptune placement, and moved along to where it was at the apex of this master Yod in June and July, 2004 as it reached Pluto's placement. The Moon and Saturn, representing mother and father, create a wounding with the parents as Chiron is right there too (can also mean a clash between your right and left brains....masculine and feminine. Even tho Saturn has moved past the YOD point now, this point keeps moving slowly, and it affects dramatically the house that it is in.

How did this change things? Saturn, the authority, power figure called these two transcendental planets to take stock of what they're doing. They looked at him bemused, because Saturn is the last planet we can see with the naked eye. In the old days we said "that was it - there's nothing beyond that". Then we got telescopes and found Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - transcendental planets which take us out of our staid patterns and cause us to grow - whether we want to or not! Look at where the Neptune in Aquarius sextile Pluto in Sag is in your chart, and where Saturn in Cancer was when it went over the power point in June and July of 2004. This will give you a clue as to what it affected. There was a 'trigger' in January, 2004, when the Sun , Mercury and Chiron in Capricorn were in the middle of the sextile and triggered the energy to its opposite sign, Cancer. As mentioned, this all came to a peak in June and July 2004 when Saturn moved over the YOD point. Since these are slow moving planets, we felt the effects of this master YOD for the whole year. ...and it keeps on truckin'...we'll feel it for some time.

In 2005,the baby boomers had a 'sesquiquadrate" with Pluto sesqui'ing itself, and any Taurus planets they might have, and Neptune sesqui'ing itself, and in late 2005, Mars hung around and retrograded in Taurus, stirring things up and bringing them to the fore. See Baby Boomers.

Neptune is in your 11th house of career money, dad's money, as well as the traditional goals, ambitions friends, and career dreams. It's also the house which shows you how you are loved by your spouse and second child. With Neptune here, it may be a gauzy time, albeit it tender and joyful; but we do have to come back to reality at some time. Neptune can be part of music, dance; sending you off on a cultural maze of symphony, opera, musicals, etc. It's always nice when Neptune is soft and transcendent yet letting the light through.

Pluto is in the 9th house of education and travel, which is in a good position for Aries, being in trine placement to the Aries sun., but this whole pattern is one of growth regardless.

The Yod point, Cancer,was in your 4th house of home and family, and possibly Mom. The 'answer' is located here. Mom's advice or how she has lived her life can have much meaning about these elements. Now that Saturn has moved into Leo, you can look back and see the events more clearly.

Pluto is in the 7th house of mate and the first one in particular, the 2nd child, Mom's Mom and Dad's dad......and the 3rd sibling after you should you have one.

Neptune is in your 7th house of partners, and the first mate in particular. However, a subsequent mate, with time and longevity can fall back into these patterns.

S/he is looking for something much more fulfilling and meaningful. If stuck in a go-nowhere job, s/he may turn to alcohol or the like to assuage their angst.

Pluto is in the 5th house of children, love affairs, avocations and creativity...also our ego. Children can be standing up for themselves now and you call it 'attitude'. Listen and hear their truth.

Neptune is in your 6th house of work, health and animals. You can have some malady that isn't readily evident.
